Hey, flist! Does anyone have any film recommendations? Because while I watch a LOT of TV I hardly watch any films at all, and now that I've run out of TV shows to marathon I thought I'd start watching films instead. :D I'm open to pretty much all genres except horror, and I especially like films that pass the Bechdel test.

Seriously, when I say I hardly watch any films at all I mean that you could recommend me something really mainstream that everyone and their mother has seen, and I probably won't have seen it. So, yeah, any suggestions at all would be appreciated!

I would recommend, Mesrine (part 1&2) it's a french subtitle though... also A Prophet is in French subs but also awesome. In-fact that one is probs better.
Also lighter films include: Walk the line, Law Abiding Citizen, Looking For Eric, This is England, Hot Fuzz (for the lolz).
IDK.. there's so much!

Is there any TV shows that you would recommend, because by film/tv ratio is about 65/35.

I'm fine with subtitles, so I'll check those out. :D Um, I have a ton of TV shows I could recommend - what sort of thing do you like?

Cool :)
I like all sorts.. Skins (obv), Parks & Recreation, Madmen, HIMYM, 30 Rock, Dexter, Sex and the City (oh dear), Peep Show, AdFab, Gossip Girl...
That may or may not be helpful, but I'm pretty open minded so I'll be chuffed with any recs. :)

Okay! I've been watching Greek lately, it's a lulzy American college drama that I kind of love. Chuck is lots of fun too; it's a silly spy comedy/drama. If you're not watching Legend of the Seeker you MUST, it's a cheesy but awesome fantasy show with lots of hot women in leather. For something more serious, The Good Wife is a really interesting legal drama about a politician's wife who goes back to work as a lawyer when he's embroiled in a sex scandal. What else? White Collar and Nurse Jackie are both good shows. For something a bit older, Veronica Mars is awesome and an absolute must-see.

Ahh, nice one, thanks.,,
Yes, I'm watching Legend of the Seeker and it's ridiculous but I lol at nearly every ~serious utterance... what an amazingly cracky show :)
I've seen ads for The Good Wife, and it does look really interesting so I think I'll give that a go. Also, I think I missed out on Veronica Mars so I'll have to give that a go too. :)
Greek and Chuck.. also noted, thanks! Good job it's the holidays soon. I prefer to watch series stuff when a big night out has ensued and I can whip out a nice cup of tea and chill the next day. :)))
